Rodri has suffered an injury setback and is expected to be out until after the September international break. The midfielder had previously missed a significant portion of the 2024-25 season due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury. His absence impacted Manchester City's performance, causing them to slip to third in the Premier League and resulting in no trophies for the first time in nine years under Pep Guardiola. Guardiola indicated that Rodri has shown improvement in training but emphasized the importance of avoiding further injury before his return to full fitness.
Rodri is getting better but he had a big injury in the last game against Al-Hilal. He has trained better in the last few days. Hopefully after the international break, he will be really fit.
What is important is that he doesn't have pain because we don't want Rodri coming back injured. We will try desperately to avoid that.
Rodri was a huge miss, with City slipping to third in the Premier League without their midfielder and going trophyless for the first time in nine years under Guardiola.
He was part of the club's squad during this summer's Club World Cup in the United States.
